Newton's 1704 idea: Gravity as refraction

What if the key to solving the mysteries of modern physics lies not in new mathematics, but in a physical interpretation of the mathematics we already have?

This week, we begin a deep, two-part conversation with Dr. Chantal Roth about the Elastic Aether Theory—one of the first serious contenders we've found for a material interpretation of fundamental physics. Dr. Roth's quest for a deeper understanding of the universe begins by taking the mathematics of General Relativity, applying a set of material science axioms, and deriving what the mathematics of light and gravity tell us about the physical properties of the universe. Check out part 2, where we dive into the ether-based mechanisms for mass, light, charge, electricity, and gravity.
